What’s in it
Fair Trade rooibos, chocolate oil and roasted chocolate grain.
How it tastes to us
So smooth, full-bodied and creamy on the tongue. Nothing’s vying for attention here. You reach for this tea when chocolate’s on the mind. Red rooibos, with it’s honeyed, caramel & woodsy notes is a natural mate for the deep notes of chocolate.
Why we chose it
Because a friend at the Victoria Tea Festival said we HAD to try it. She said this tea… Read more
Company description not available.
This tea is pretty good for a rooibos! Definitely tastes chocolatey, in a chocolate liqueur sort of way, which is surprisingly tasty. Enough rooibos flavour that I can tell it’s there, but it’s not objectionable. Overall, it’s a reasonable selection that I’ll finish off, but not repurchase.
Also, sorry for the very short tasting notes lately. I’m feeling very uninspired…
ETA: Also a good second infusion.
Backlog:
Not a bad tisane … I like the strong chocolate flavor. Forsman Tea seems to have followed my rule: more chocolate = better … because this is really nice and chocolate-y.
The rooibos is distinguishable here but I’m not minding that so much because the nutty flavor of the rooibos melds nicely with the bittersweet chocolate-y tones. I don’t usually taste a “caramel-y” note with rooibos, but I was surprised to discover a hint of caramel-like flavor to this. A nice complement to the chocolate.
Overall, a really nice rooibos selection from my Amoda Box.
This is a pretty tasty Rooibos. I agree with the other reviewer it is chocolaty but in a chocolate liqueur sort of way. I had it plain but I might try messing around with different additions and see how that changes the flavors. I would not buy this normally but it was a nice addition to the Amoda box this month.
I’ve been there. Some days I feel like I don’t want to drink tea because I’ll feel bad if I don’t log/review it, and that’s just ridiculous because… it’s all supposed to be fun right?
Short reviews are better than no reviews.
Also I can’t wait to try this one – I like rooibos and I love chocolate. Was this your last box?
Yeah. I haven’t been logging while drinking much lately, just logging after the fact (except for today).
I thought this was pretty good on the chocolate flavour; better than I had expected.
I have… two more boxes? One more box? I don’t remember, haha. If this is my third then I have two more. Bonus box due to being shorted in the first one. Since then they’ve all been good though :D
